I love Christmas. There’s just something about the holiday season that makes the air feel extra electric. Honestly, it’s probably all of the glitter. But one of my favorite things about the holiday season is the launch of all of the holiday beauty products. Not just the new product launches though. I get extra giddy …
As a beauty blogger, I try a LOT of makeup. Whenever I try new things, I inevitably compare the new stuff to my all time favorites to see where they stand. I think that’s a natural instinct. With that being said, I’ve become super picky in the products that I will endorse, and even more …

For example, you’re walking around the grocery store and you find that one thing that’s going to solve the craving you’ve been having for a week. Or maybe you’re in a bar (you didn’t even want to go to) with some friends and the crowd parts …
As a beauty lover and a trend forecaster, I am always searching for the “next big thing”. Of course right now there’s nothing making a bigger splash than collagen. There are pills and powders and creams, oh my! So when I came across the new Vital Proteins Collagen Water, I knew I had to try …
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of winged eyeliner. Together with a red lip, the look is an instant classic. However, if you’re like me, it’s nearly impossible to create a perfect wing. Plus, not only do you have to do it once, but you actually have to do it twice at the …
